University of Kansas football fans can get their first glimpse of the 2018 team on the final Saturday of April, when the Jayhawks will play their annual spring game at Memorial Stadium.

Fourth-year head coach David Beaty and his staff will begin putting players through practices on March 30, with the April 28 public scrimmage (1 p.m. start) coming four weeks later.

The exhibition will mark the unofficial debut of four-star cornerback Corione Harris, one of two marquee signees (along with four-star running back Anthony “Pooka” Williams, still in high school) in the 2018 recruiting class. A 6-foot-1, 170-pound corner from Landry-Walker High, in New Orleans, Harris graduated from high school early in order to enroll at Kansas for the spring semester. Harris already is working out with the team, as is freshman offensive lineman Nick Williams. A three-star prospect from Overland, Mo., Williams also graduated ahead of schedule to jump-start his college career.

Let's hope that Coach Riker can sort out talent on the offensive line that will give the team the opportunity to win some games this year, especially the early pre-conference ones. K-State has made that their winning formula for decades now.

Head Coach Chris Ash of Rutgers who has already won more games in TWO years (6) than Beaty has in 3 seasons (3) will be here in Lawrence in September to embarrass KU so that he can strengthen his job security. Beaty gives Rutgers and Baylor and whoever else in D1 a guaranteed victory. #EarnIt
